ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the effect of recovery sleep on the executive function after 36 h of total sleep deprivation by event related potential technology.Methods Thirteen healthy male college students participated in two trials. At the first trial normal sleep as control was investigated. At the second trial participants experienced 36 h of sleep deprivation and then accepted 8 h recovery sleep. In each trial six Go/Nogo tests were employed to test the executive control function and the ERP data were recorded. Results There was no statistical difference in behavior and ERP results at each time point as the subjects had normal sleep. After 36 h of sleep deprivation, the behavior results were statistically significant when compared to the baseline. The amplitude and latency of Nogo-N2, Nogo-P3 on Fz electrode, the amplitude and latency of Nogo-P3 on Cz electrode showed statistical significance when compared to the baseline. After 8 h recovery sleep, the average correct reaction time and the Go correct reaction rate had statistical significance compared to 36 h value. The amplitude of Nogo-N2 and Nogo-P3 had no statistical significance compared to the baseline.However,it was of statistical significance[(-6.80 3.95)vs(-3.37 2.63)μV,(10.63±6.62)vs(5.63±5.45)μV,(9.49±7.37)vs(6.08±6.56)μV] compared to 36 h value. The latency of the recovery value of Nogo-N2 and Nogo-P3 was statistically significant[(254.14±15.55)vs(243.08±13.97)ms(382.14±41.07)vs(349.17±30.36)ms,(369.86±26.48)vs(347.48±29.24)ms]compared to the baseline.Conclusion As the time of sleep deprivation is prolonged, the executive function is impaired and the executive function is not completely recovered after 8 h recovery sleep.
ABSTRACT
Con el objetivo de evaluar el efecto de la privación crónica de sueño sobre la presión arterial sistólica, se estudiaron 3 grupos de 8 ratas Wistar, un grupo control: sin privación de sueño y dos grupos experimentales: privación del sueño total y privación de fase de sueño MOR, durante períodos de 96 h continuas semanales, sin interrupción a lo largo de 2 meses. A dichos grupos se les midió la presión arterial sistólica cada semana antes de iniciar el período de privación de sueño. Al concluir los 2 meses, se les realizó extracción de ambos riñones. Los resultados revelaron que hubo diferencia estadísticamente significativa a partir de la semana 6 entre el grupo control y el grupo con privación del sueño total. En cuanto al estudio histológico de los cortes de los riñones, no se encontró alteración alguna de nefroesclerosis. En el modelo de estudio, la privación de sueño total produce un aumento notable de la presión arterial sistólica, no siendo así en el grupo con privación de fase de sueño MOR. Las alteraciones morfológicas renales no parecen participar en la hipertensión obtenida mediante las técnicas aplicadas.
With the objective of evaluating the effects of chronic sleep deprivation on the systolic blood pressure, three groups of 8 Wistar rats were studied- a control group with no sleep deprivation and two experimental groups subjected to total sleep deprivation and MOR sleep phase deprivation, respectively- for continuous 96h periods weekly throughout 2 months. Systolic blood pressure was taken in all the three groups every week before starting the sleep deprivation period. After two months, their kidneys were extracted. The results yielded that there was a statistically significant difference between the control group and the group subjected to total sleep deprivation. As to the histological study of the kidney cuts, nephrosclerosis alterations were not found. In the study model the total sleep deprivation brings about a remarkable rise in systolic blood pressure, except for the group which underwent MOR sleep phase deprivation and that renal morphological alterations does not seem to be involved in hypertension resulting from the applied techniques.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the impact of total sleep deprivation (TSD) on executive control function.Methods:Thirteen healthy young men completed visual Go/No-go task before and after the 36 hour sleep deprivation.Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was carried out in these subjects 3 weeks apart.Results: The hit rate of Co/No-go task decreased (P
ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of the sleep deprivation for central information processing. Therefore we examined the changes in the amplitude and the latency of P300 event-related potentials (ERPs) before and after sleep deprivation in eight subjects. In addition to P300, we examined the power spectral changes of the EEG and the R-R intervals at rest before ERP measurements. The subjects performed an auditory target discrimination task and were instructed to keep mental count of each target stimulus. Then 2000 Hz tones (target) and 1000 Hz tones (nontarget) were randomly presented with probabilities of 0.2 and 0.8.<BR>P300 latency at Fz, Cz, C3 and C4 was significantly prolonged after sleep deprivation (p<0.05) . P300 amplitude at Cz after sleep deprivation was significantly smaller than before sleep deprivation (p<0.05) . Alpha 1 power (8-10 Hz) at Cz on EEG was significantly decreased after sleep deprivation, but no other bands changed on EEG. The R-R interval was also significantly extended after sleep deprivation. We concluded that both central information processing and the autonomic nervous system may be influenced by sleep deprivation.
